On Thursday May 1, voters in Bexley and Bromley go to the polls to decide who will run Greater London for the next four years.

The Extra brings you the guide to the candidates vying for your vote.

“My priorities will be to cut crime, to get traffic moving, and to cap council tax. I will put an end to minority politics and multiculturalism. There will be only one class of Londoner: those who live, work and pay taxes in London.”

Mr Batten, 54, was a founder member of the UK Independence Party and has been MEP for London since 2004.

Sian Berry (Green)

“I want to be Mayor so I can cut the cost of living and make the city a fairer, greener, more enjoyable place to live and work. I’ll make sure 60 per cent of new homes are affordable, and I’ll cut bus and off-peak Tube fares by 20p. And I’ll cut everyone’s fuel bills and take a huge chunk out of our carbon emissions by insulating every home for free - no catches. Of course nothing’s affordable if you’re on poverty wages, so I’ll pay all my workers, from call centres to police stations, at least £7.20 an hour and I’ll name and shame your boss if they don’t follow suit.”

Ms Berry, 33, from Kentish Town, is one of the founders of the campaign group Alliance Against Urban 4x4s.

“London contains some of the richest people in the world, but most Londoners see little of the wealth. London is rightly hailed as one of the most multicultural cities in the world, but there is little acknowledgement that many ethnic minorities suffer disproportionately from poverty. Londoners also pay the most expensive fares for one of the worst transport systems in the world.”

Ms German, 57, is a founder of the Stop the War Coalition and has been a socialist for more than 35 years with a commitment to women’s rights and anti-racism.

“I will be Mayor for all London and all Londoners; my job as Mayor will be to promote understanding, integration and harmony. I will stand up for London on every issue that matters, whether it falls under the Mayoral remit or not. Above all, I will be the Mayor who listens to Londoners.”

Mr Johnson, 44, is MP for Henley, a regular contributor to national newspapers and former editor of The Spectator. He has held posts as shadow minister for the arts and shadow minister of higher education.

Ken Livingstone (Labour)

“The biggest task confronting the Mayor over the next term is to successfully deliver the huge transport projects that are now underway in Bromley and across London. Delivering the £16 billion Crossrail project successfully, carrying through the £1 billion a year tube modernisation, continuing the expansion and improvement of London’s bus system seen in the last eight years and completing the upgrades and extensions to overground rail services will transform London’s public transport for the better and benefit every Bromley resident.”

Mr Livingstone, 62, was elected as the first Mayor of London in 2000 as an Independent and re-elected in 2004 for Labour.

Winston McKenzie (Independent)

“I will major on crime, with the introduction of boot camps and lobby for hard labour, and be ruthless in my endeavours, as I adapt a zero tolerance attitude, particularly on gun and knife crime currently devastating our society and communities. I am the only candidate who can solve this problem, as I understand the culture and the difficulties associated. I will wipe out this evil virus within one year.”

Mr McKenzie, 54, is one of four former champion boxing brothers from Croydon.

Matt O’Connor (English Democrats)

The former Bromley resident has urged voters to cast their ballot for Alan Craig. Mr O’Connor, 41, has fallen out with his party and no longer wishes to be considered for the mayoralty, but failed to withdraw from the race in time.

Brian Paddick (Liberal Democrats)

“Mayor Livingstone has concentrated too much on Zone One to the exclusion of outer London. I know what it is like to live in the suburbs - I was raised in Sutton where my mother still lives. I will listen to Londoners in Bromley, work collaboratively with the local authorities and act on what local people and their democratically elected representatives say. I have a track record of genuine consultation and delivery of public services tailored to the needs of the local community.”

Mr Paddick, 50, from Vauxhall, was the highest ranking openly gay police officer in the UK before his retirement last year. He was a community officer in Brixton after the 1981 riots, borough commander in Merton and Lambeth, appointed Deputy Assistant Commissioner in 2003 and in charge of territorial policing across London from 2005.
